Loxton teenagers Tyla Molyneux (left), 15, and Bianca Hopper, 16, have voiced their opinions on the importance of
getting your learner’s permit and the freedom it entails.
PHOTO: Emma Walter
Loxton High School year 10
student TYLA MOLYNEUX
undertook work experience at
The Loxton News last week.
The 15-year-old, who is five
months away from sitting for
her driver ’s licence, wrote
about her feelings on how
important it is being able to
drive.
As soon as you turn 15
the realisation kicks in that
in a year’s time you are
able to get your driver’s
licence.
My friend, Kya Schwarz,
15, thinks that getting your
driver’s licence is “just a part
of life”.
Yesitis,anditisavery
large part of life and some-
thing that you use daily, but I
also feel as though it indicates
the transition of becoming an
adult.
At the age of 16 you start
to get a taste of what life is
like as an adult – you begin
driving and it is the age most
teenagers decide it is time to
get a job.
Another friend of mine,
Bianca Hopper, already has
her L-plates. At 16, she has
had her licence for around two
months now.
She admitted she was
“incredibly nervous” before
taking her test, because she
had no previous driving expe-
rience.
“I wanted my licence so
I could begin to feel inde-
pendent and be able to drive
myself around without having
to rely on my parents,” she
said.
I think once you begin
driving, you become more
independent; no longer having
to rely on someone else to get
you to places.”
Another reason for want-
ing your licence may just be
because you want that feeling
of maturity that comes with
being capable of driving your-
self.
The reasons behind getting
your licence are varied and I
think this can also depend on
where you live.
“It is more important for
country drivers to get their
licence rather than city driv-
ers, because the city contains
much more public transport,”
both Bianca and Kya said.
It is an opinion I agree
with.
Getting your licence – as
someone who lives in the
country – is a more important
milestone.
For people who live in the
city there are buses and other
means of public transportation
to get you around, whereas
here in the country, we are
limited in how we can get
from town to town.
Both Bianca and Kya said
the main reason they wanted
to get their licence was to
be able to drive themselves
around, whether it is just to
the next town or further afield.
The one thing I am look-
ing forward to most about
obtaining my licence is the
feeling of freedom – being
able to go wherever you want
without having to worry about
your parents being too busy to
drive you.
I have no experience driv-
ing.
I have never been behind
thewheelofacar,nordoI
have any older siblings to
teach me. So, my only knowl-
edge of driving is what I have
visually picked up from mum
driving me around for the past
15-and-a-half years.
I am quite nervous about
getting behind the wheel of a
car and undergoing the test on
my 16th birthday.
But over the next five
months I am going to educate
myself on all of the road safe-
ty rules in order to prepare
myself for my driver’s test.
In order to obtain a learner’s
permit, drivers will need to answer
a number of questions on impor-
tant road rules and safety.
Would-be learner drivers are
encouraged to ‘study up’, as each
attempt at the test incurs a fee – if
they fail, they can retry, but they
will have to pay again.
The test has two parts:
Part A – give way diagrams.
Eight diagram questions where
people must decide which vehi-
cle or pedestrian is required to
give way in each diagram. All eight
questions must be answered cor-
rectly before they can try part B.
Part B – multiple choice.
Answer 42 multiple choice ques-
tions on the road rules and safety.
To pass the test, people must
get all eight give-way questions
right and at least 32 of the 42 mul-
tiple-choice questions.
People can attempt the theo-
ry test at Service SA customer
service centres, open between
9am and 4.15pm weekdays,
or most country police stations.
The test is provided on a computer
screen or as a written test and it
may take 30 minutes or more to
complete.
Test-sitters are asked to bring
the following with them:
Evidence that verifies identi-
ty, age, signature and residential
address.
The fee for the theory test.
The $34 fee for your learner’s
permit.
A medical certificate (for any
medical condition that may affect
driving).
After passing the test, drivers
can apply for their learner’s per-
mit, on the spot.
Their photograph will be taken
and they will be issued with a tem-
porary permit.
The learner’s permit will be
posted and is applicable for two
years.
